New project

I got this new to me display case. The buttons are numbered and priced. So now I'll dig threw my knives and try to fill the display and find the knives I dont have. This will be the 3rd display I have that will have knives that match the buttons. It will probably take a while to locate the knives I dont have so it will keep me focused. I'll probably try to come up with a magnet style holding system, not overly crazy about using wire to hold the knives in but I haven't made up my mind yet. We shall see. Here it is, I'll keep you posted on my progress.

What a project. Can't wait to see it when you are finished. Also let us know how many of the knives you already have.

That's a real nice display!
I use floral wire for my displays, but I've been thinking of switching to magnets.

Beautiful and historic displays espn.
When securing knives to boards I use 30 LB clear fishing line. Invisible and never stretches loose.

Thanks for that idea Dan.
My book says I have about 6 more that go in the case. I'll have to look harder. This is what I have easily found.

Heavy duty fishing line is a great idea. Thank you Dan.

It’s nice to have a focus with all the knives out there Keith.

Looks like another great project Keith.
Like pearlroosterman said fishing line works well. I have used 20 Lb. test line with quick release tension knots for mounting knives on displays. If you drill and space the holes yourself it makes a near invisible mount. If you use the board and holes you have it still is a great way to display with little visible other than the knives. You can tie the whole board with one line or use more if you want.

Thanks guys for the ideas. I found a few more knives.
Sounds like fishing line is the way to go.
